“After four days in hospital, a 35-year-old woman died of bird flu in the western part of Indonesia on Tuesday, raising the country’s deaths to 57, and the source of infection (传染) was still unknown,” a senior health ministry official said.

The H5N1 virus has killed at least 153 people worldwide since it began hitting Asian poultry (家禽) in late 2003, according to the World Health Organization, with over a third of the human deaths in Indonesia.

Most of those killed have been infected by house-kept poultry, but WHO fears the virus could turn into a form that easily spreads among humans, causing a nationwide disease with the possibility to kill millions.

Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous (人口稠密的) country and home to millions of backyard chickens, is looked upon as a possible hot place for that to happen.

The government came under fire for moving slowly to get rid of the virus when it first appeared in chickens and ducks, but has worked hard in recent months to make the public know about the dangers of bird flu.

It has also increased vaccinations (接种疫苗) and killing of birds in infected areas. But no one knows whether the action will work. After all, bird flu has been there for more than two years and killed so many people.

A person who is deaf when he is born is usually dumb (哑的) as well. There may be nothing wrong with his mouth and tongue, but he cannot speak. This is because he cannot hear people, so he has nothing to imitate (模仿). He may try to make sounds himself, but cannot hear his own voice. However, even though he finds it difficult to speak and cannot hear, he can learn to read. Nowadays such persons can also be taught to speak because we have modern methods and equipment, but we did not have these when Helen Keller was born.

Even with modern methods and equipment, however, it is not easy for deaf children to learn to speak, though most of them succeed. When a child is deaf and blind as well, it becomes much more difficult, though it is possible. Helen Keller was born in 1880. She became very ill at the age of nineteen months. Medical knowledge was not as great then as it is now. She did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As a result, she became dumb as well. Her parents did their best to teach her, but she couldn’t speak by the age of six.

Then, in 1887, a teacher, Miss Sullivan, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind. She had been partly cured. Though she could not see very well, she was not blind. Helen was a difficult pupil at first, but in a month Helen had learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself. At last in spite of her great difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was deaf and blind. She even went to college and had full education. She wrote many books, and though other people have written books about her, her own books are the ones that best explain how it feels to be deaf, dumb and blind. Her best book is The Story of My Life. Perhaps you have read it. Though it was written in 1902, it is still a very interesting book. Even if you have not read it, you may have heard of Helen Keller.

A. there’s something wrong with his mouth and tongue

73. Deaf and dumb children can be taught to speak nowadays because ________.

A. we have modern methods and equipment

C. they can hear something

D. they have grown up
